Hangout on Air recordings

During the BbCollaborate/Elluminate chat Vance switched on the Hangout on Air. The recording for the first part of this 35 minute HoA is of Vance speaking into the Elluminate chat.  The responses of participants were recorded as silent spaces which have been edited out of the mp3.  At the end of the Hangout Chris Smith a.k.a. Shamblesguru <http://shambles.net/shamblesguru/> hung around for an informal chat, also recorded here
